An employee who experiences a loss of consciousness that can go on for hours or days. In this state, he or she will have no memory at all of the work he or she performed. Also known as work autopilot and work robot, these are usually people who feel that they have no future in their own company. It is believed that the "lost" time is spent in internal calculation so as not to allow the brain cells to atrophy.
